This newsgroup is named mod.recipes, but it was recently forced by the net
janitors into being delivered under the name "rec.food.cooking". Or perhaps, I
should say it this way: "this group.news is named mod.recipes, but it was
recently forced by the janitors.net into ...". A compulsive mania for
gratiutous recategorization seems to be part of the psyche of many a
budding young tech weenie.

A full explanation of mod.recipes is posted on the 28th day of each month.
The formatted recipes that follow are decoded using troff or nroff with a
special macro package. There is also some software to help you extract and
save the recipes.

Everything having to do with mod.recipes, including the macros, software, and
back issues of recipes, can be retrieved by mail from the recipe archive
system at decwrl; send mail saying "help" to
	archive-server@decwrl.dec.com
or
	{ihnp4,ucbvax,decvax,sun,hplabs,allegra}!decwrl!archive-server
for more information. The help message and the archive indexes are posted
to this newsgroup once a month.

In Europe, please use the European archive server, which is a much simpler
program. Mail to recipe@tcom.stc.co.uk with the retrieval key in the Subject
line. The retrieval key "index" gets you the current index.

There is no formal archive service in Australia, but many people there have
all of the recipes, so please ask around locally before using expensive
transoceanic mail. If anyone in Australia wants to run an archive service,
please let me know.
